      #57 If you don stop your boss from trying to repair his dishwisher in the company he might produce a short circuit letting you sit in front a black screen. #58 According to Murphy's law it will not blow the fuse of the used line but one of the three main fuses shutting down also a lot of other systems; especially those that require manual intercation or checks or even restarting a 24-hour calibration process that would have finished a few minutes later otherwise.

        #55: If you don’t regularly turn your (cheap) toaster upside down to empty it of all the burnt crumbs, they will eventually build up so much they'll short-circuit the damned thing, and... #56: if you don’t have the right fuse in your toaster-plug, when it blows it’ll take down everything else on the same circuit at the same time

        #57: A $1,600 refrigerator will sacrifice itself and short-out in order to save a $15 toaster that is on fire.
